The Husker coaching staff under Bo Pelini looks to be taking the offense in the direction where dual-threat quarterbacks will be counted on to give NU's attack an extra dimension. They are fortunate in that for this recruiting class the states bordering Nebraska have some of the nation's top signal caller prospects.

Kansas's Blake Bell, Iowa's A.J. Derby and Missouri's Tyler Gabbert are all well acquainted with the Husker program in Lincoln, and Colorado's Austin Hinder is also interested in learning about all that NU has to offer.
